Anime Trivia Questions and Answers

Series and films, from the long-running shonen titles to the studio work that gets shown in cinemas. Questions cover characters, arcs, studios and the source manga, with attention paid to the difference between what happened in a series and what happened in the book it came from. The pool spans several decades rather than the current season, so it plays for people who stopped watching years ago as well as for people who did not. The hard tier is studio and director credits — the part where the same few names turn out to be behind a surprising share of everything on the list.

Trivia Tavern runs these as a live round: one person opens a room, everyone else joins with a five-character code, and answers are locked in on each player’s own phone with a clock running. Faster correct answers score more, and a match draws from the full anime pool — around two hundred questions, of which the 39 above are a sample.

Two to eight players, about fifteen minutes for three rounds, and nobody needs to make an account to sit down.
